Principal Aims

FICPI is committed to supporting its members in private practice and bringing value to intellectual property in a wider sense.

We are passionate about our aims, which can be summarised as follows:

Enhancing international cooperation within the profession of IP attorneys in private practice, promoting the exchange of information and facilitating business relations between members.

Maintaining the dignity of our members and the standards of the profession of IP attorneys in private practice on an international scale.

Expressing FICPI’s opinions with regard to newly proposed international and national legislation that is of general concern to the profession; and defending the interests of our members and their clients in maintaining a vigorous and effective system of intellectual property protection, with well-qualified IP attorneys in private practice to make that system work.

Promoting training and continuing education of our members and others interested in intellectual property by organising regular international meetings, as well as local and regional ad hoc programmes.
